Film camera body with built in flash and 10 auto exposure modes plus manual, for EF auto focus lenses

• Compact & lightweight 35mm SLR camera (body only)
• 10 auto exposure modes with manual override option
• Three point auto focus, evaluative, partial metering
• Multiple exposure feature, auto exposure bracketing
• Accepts Canon EF and independent EOS-fit lenses

Canon's EOS range are some of the best selling autofocus SLR cameras, and this EOS 500N (known in some countries as the EOS Rebel G) is a popular, compact model accepting 35mm film. It's very small and light at only 370g, yet compatible with the vast range of Canon EF and independent EOS-fit lenses (not included).

Exposure modes include variable program, shutter priority, aperture priority, metered manual, fully auto and five subject-based modes; portraits, landscapes, close ups, sports and night sync. Plus, Canon's auto depth of field mode calculates the correct aperture to ensure both subject and background are in focus. Metering modes include evaluative, and partial with exposure lock. Exposure compensation of +/- 2 stops (in half stops) is available. The camera has a full range of shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/2000th in half stops, with flash synchronization up to 1/90th, plus B for time exposures. The built in motor loads the film automatically, winds on at up to one frame per second, and winds off the film at the end.

The built in flash fires automatically when needed in the subject-based modes, and can be turned on or off in all other modes. It covers lenses as wide as 28mm, redeye reduction is available, and a standard Canon hot shoe allows external TTL and A-TTL dedicated flashguns to be used (not included). The autofocus system has three sensors, with automatic or manual selection to ensure that your subject is correctly identified and focused, and an auxiliary lamp illuminates the subject for focusing in very low light. Other advanced features include multiple exposures, ISO film speed override, cancellable audio warnings, multiple exposures, self timer and mid-roll rewind. This combination of automatic features and manual options makes this an ideal camera for photographers from complete beginners all the way up to enthusiasts. Plus, the camera's light weight and small size make it easy to carry around.

An excellent film camera body for beginners, students and many other photographers!

Condition: Excellent+++ (8.5/10)
This listing is for the camera body (NO LENS), in fully working order. The viewfinder is bright and clear with only a few harmless dust specks, and all controls operate smoothly and positively. Cosmetically there are only small signs of use including some surface marks here and there in the finish - mainly on the grip and flash. There's a small amount of play in the flash when closed, but this is common and doesn't cause any problems. The accessories are in good condition.

No cracks, splits or deep scratches, and overall the camera is in nice shape.
At the time of listing we have more than one of this item, but the pictures and description here are representative of all of them.

Includes Canon remote socket cap, generic rubber eyecup and body cap, plus batteries

Compatibility
Canon EOS cameras can accept a huge range of lenses from Canon and other manufacturers (not included), as follows:

Canon has dozens of excellent lenses in the vast EF range including ultra wide angles and fisheyes, fast prime wide angle, standard and telephoto lenses, extreme teles, macro and tilt/shift lenses, plus an array of zooms, including wide angle, wide-tele and telephoto types. Many use Canon's USM (UltraSonic Motor) technology for extremely fast, almost silent focusing. Some newer lenses have IS (Image Stabilization) technology to reduce camera shake. In addition, most independent manufacturers produce lenses in EOS fitting, including Sigma (some models have HSM HyperSonic Motors, which are similar to Canon's USM), Tokina, Tamron, Vivitar and many others.

EOS 35mm cameras are NOT compatible with Canon EF-S lenses designed exclusively designed for small-sensor digital SLRs, or independent equivalents such as Sigma DC, Tamron Di-II or Tokina DX types.

Most EOS models (including this one) also work happily with manual lenses and accessories such as mirror lenses, slide copiers, microscope and telescope adapters, with metered manual or aperture priority auto exposure, and stopped down metering.

Please note that Canon EOS cameras are NOT directly compatible with older, manual focus Canon FD and FL lenses, though adapters are available (not included) for metered manual or aperture priority auto exposure, with manual diaphragm and stopped down metering. Two types are made, either for close up/macro use only (no glass), or with optical elements to maintain infinity focus, which slightly increases the focal length, and limits compatibility with some lenses.

The EOS cameras are very versatile in that adapters are also available (not included) for many other types of lens and accessory, including M42 screw, Nikon AI (and some AF), Olympus OM, Contax/Yashica, Leica R, T2 (t-mount) and Tamron Adaptall. Medium format adapters are available (NOT included) for Hasselblad, Mamiya 645, Pentacon Six/Kiev 60, Pentax 645 and Pentax 67. The M42 and T2 adapters are often reasonably priced, but the bayonet types are usually more expensive.

In all these cases, infinity focus is maintained without the need for optical elements, and metered manual or aperture priority auto exposure can be used, with manual diaphragm and stopped down metering.
